How would you go creating this gear?

Greetings.

I have been trying to build this shape , but i dont get the results i want.

if you look at the gear teeth, it follows a straight path over the surface

my method:

1draw an auxiliary plane so i can draw a straight line and project it onto the surface

2draw the shape, touching the path.

3- use the proyected curve to sweep around the cylinder . its aguided sweep.

method 2 - plane tangent to projected curved line, guided sweep the triangle and the shape also twist.

problem is: the shape twists..

how would you create this gear?

its has to look like this gear,
